Incredible flow and technique! Watching this climb reminds me of the importance of mastering the fundamentals. That perfect body positioning, the smooth weight shifts, and precise foot placements - it’s exactly the kind of movement I emphasize with my climbers. When the basics are so well-executed, everything else seems effortless! Tom
Yeah this is Colin Duffy he almost medaled for the US at both the Tokyo and Paris olympics. He's really good at bouldering. Plus he has world cup gold medals in both bouldering and lead climbing
That whole thing is insane. Also, I've never seen a toe hook swap like that. Amazing work by Colin, but also the route setter - incredible vision to set that.
It was set by a guy named Jake Kim, he's not even technically a routesetter. But he's an absolute crusher, and a super chill dude. He also just reset the spray wall at my local gym on his free time and crushed it
@jacobkiley6169 is Jake one of the guys from trio climbing or whatever it's called, the channel where Collin does climbing challenges and such? I think they're roommates?
Damn man, you are strong. Killer beta, wild toe hook swap, and you made it look effortless. I hope to be able to climb half that good one day. Keep up the good work.
Back in the 1980'ies I was both a rock climber and a gymnast. I really liked to invent upside down betas, but I never came within a mile of this one. Hugely impressive by both setter and climber!
Considering how much experience and intelligence goes into setting, I am surprised so many gyms have any kind of decent climbs. A lot of the gyms in SoCal have a professional setting team that comes by and does all the local gyms, that makes more sense to me than each gym just happening to have total genuises on staff.
This is some of the most impressive bouldering I've seen in a while, the strength and ease with which you climb is mind boggling.

The setter probably felt so validated after someone finally figured out their beta lol
He's most likely the setter honnestly
I doubt anyone did that without any hints. That was a troll setter.
Can we just appreciate that as incredible as the climbing was, the route setting was at least as incredible!
That’s crazy the body tension seems so effortless!

@Midnight_Bacon yeah he's on there!
this guy is pretty good, he should try to make it into the climbing world cup
Or perhaps the Olympics maybe 😂
Damn man, you are strong.
Killer beta, wild toe hook swap, and you made it look effortless.
I hope to be able to climb half that good one day. Keep up the good work.
These are the routes I want to see at a competition
to complex for the short period of time though :(
This is such a beautiful route, and a privilege to see executed so well. Congrats to Colin and the Setter!
That Body tension is crazy! Really good music too for the send
I don’t know how many years of practice it took you to master that, but my closest guess is eternity. This is amazing! Bravo!!
Also, your performance in Olympics was incredible! I was and still am in awe.
You are an absolute beast my guy, easy to see you're one of the best. Congrats my dude stay passionate ✌🏻 love your music taste also
I like to think that I look like this when I climb my barely V7 projects
I am a beginner in bouldering and that is actually harder than it looks. I hope, one day I can be an expert and make this incredible moves.
UNREAL strength and coordination. Amazing, I would have totally dipped at the upside down part cause that’s terrifying.
Looking good in the Olympic opening ceremony last night Colin, can't wait to see you compete!
V16 in my gym, damn😲
Def could be, it was graded as H+ which is labeled as v11 and above. I climb roughly v10 and couldn't get past the second move lmao
V5 in my gym
DBC baby 💪🏼 some of the best setting around the Denver area
What a great route and such a refreshment from the usual dyno
Bro has a six pack on his spin. Well played
Your strength and athleticism amaze me dude. Incredible work
Back in the 1980'ies I was both a rock climber and a gymnast. I really liked to invent upside down betas, but I never came within a mile of this one. Hugely impressive by both setter and climber!
Yo the core strength for this boulder is next level
Keep it up! Impressive🦾🦾🦾
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 Jaw dropping! So that’s how such a climb is mastered. I have a VERY long way to go. I need to grow some muscles and grip strength first 😅
That's some amazing next level setting! Toe hook Rose move? -> invert? Bravo. Inspiring
Well done! Amazing route ❤ what grade is it?
the body tension required for this has gotta be wild 🤯💪
Wow, sick beta, hard boulder, and great execution, very controlled!
Wow, that looked crazy. You killed it.
Colin is ready for Silence 💪💯
Imagine having fingers that strong bro
Wth bro ur insane 😂 I aspire to be that good
My 6pack is growing just by watching this! Impresed!
Can't believe that that sequence is forced
Craaaazy V2 🎉 congrats my g
Hell nah bro thats a v1million
That is absolutely mind boggling
The beta starts off crazy and gets crazier like 3 times
Most impressive gym climb I’ve ever seen
Way cooler than the intended beta 😄
Wtf it just kept going, that's so sickkk😮🔥
Bro lowkey goated
The move starting around 0:15 💪
Dang is that Spider-Man?!😱😱 Very impressive I must say👌
Frickin legend.
Sweet climb, that’s at least a V5.
That is some great bouldering.
So strong and smooth actually insane 🎉
Wow, good job
This is beautiful
Gravity : am I a joke to you?
Bro forgot the gravity update
Holy crap your amazing
Hey I recognize that place, is it Denver bouldering club? Just started climbing a couple weeks ago, that’s my home gym!
Bro just does an extra flip upside down for fun
I imagine the setter giggling as they set this problem
Impressive and fire
Oh my God !! Unbelievable
Excellent song choice
i feel like setters making sure its doable just call in ondra or honnold or something
Just for this, I’m doing an extra set of pull-ups at the gym tomorrow, inane dude 🔥
Mind blowing to say the least...
Not how I would’ve done it personally.
As in, I wouldn’t have done it because personally I could never.
Wow! Just ...wow!!!!
Mind blowing🤯
This is magic.
With infinite strength these comp kids have, no wonder comp stuff is so crazy.
Its awesome!
This dude swims on the wall
Very impressive.
What grade is this? V1?
what 😭
V2?
That beta go crazy 😂
bro! how long did that take you to figure out?
Amazing
CLEAN!!!!!!
Insane climb.
With wc problems looked this interesting
That was utterly bonkers
Why don’t you just hold on to the wall at this point.
holy shit wtf even is that like 15
This aint climbing that acrobatics 🤣🤣🤣
I think it is more alike outdoor climbing tho than all this coordination route we see in comps.
Really nice setting and climbing.
Fuck... such control
Toehook ghost match
DBC ❤
Why can’t my gym set anything this cool 😢

Insane
Cruuuuuuised
churejon reklo escalai entero duro
This means you have to try Floatin' right?
What on earth wow
McNasty Jones over here
Is this at Denver bouldering club?
I think so! I thought it looked familiar.
This was up at DBC Central like 6 months ago or smthn, set by Jake Kim!
You don’t look like you know how to fall
forerunning that musta been hell for the setters😂
Was set by 1 guy, u don't thunk he could do it in its entirety. But I think he set intentionally for Colin bc they're good friends
Vimpossible in my gym
The shoulder strength is disgusting
we are not prepared for the comment that say v4 in my gym
Imagine having to set for this mf
V1 in my gym
